Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hunger Games casting:

Woody Harrelson has reportedly been offered the part of Seneca Crane, the Head Gamemaker. Stanely Tucci and Lenny Kravitz have also reportedly been offered unspecified roles.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, unlike Harry Potter, I'm finding that about half the casting is different than who I pictured them in my head.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A cool blog: Kid Casting

You know when a movie has a flashback and you see the character as a kid? Sometimes that's awesome.

Thanks for that link, tommy.

And now you have me making submissions for it, dammit. I may have a touch (just a touch!) of the obsessive about me.

Dana Stevens over on Slate called Fast Five a fun family movie with Vin as the gruff patriarch. With car-chases and explosions.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
